New guy, looking to buy a 6 spd RX-8
Hey everyone, I'm Mike. Looking to research and purchase an RX-8 for track duty. I am a current Focus ST owner which I will be keeping in addition to the 8. I autocrossed with my ST this year in RTF and had some great results, with a good friend of mine (an RX-8 owner no less) taking a first place spot at a national event with the car.
Anyway, I just sold my weekend fun car, a 1999 Mustang Cobra, to purchase an 8 (still undecided between Series I and Series II). It was supercharged, built rear end, trans, etc... 428 rwhp and ran low 12's in the 1/4. But, I am ready to move on to an RX-8 now for some track duty and HPDE fun on the weekends. It just seems damn near impossible finding a good, clean, stock RX-8 without a sunroof (so I can fit with a helmet).
Looking forward to joining this community and having some fun with a rotary powered car!

Welcome!
You've made a suitable choice for autocrossing and track day fun.
I don't think there are many stock cars out there better than RX-8 for autocrossing.
Good luck with your search.
